Polipodio 982277 / 952438 OMC Johnson Evinrude Zinc Alveolar Plate Anode 100–245 HP

Polipodio 2626205 OMC Johnson Evinrude 982277 / 952438 Zinc Alveolar Plate Anode 100–245 HP

The Polipodio 2626205 is a zinc sacrificial alveolar plate anode designed for compatible O.M.C., Johnson and Evinrude outboard engines from 100 to 245 HP.

According to the manufacturer's catalogue, this anode corresponds to original replacement references 982277 and 952438. It features a rectangular plate body with an alveolar (cellular) structure and four mounting holes.

The manufacturer's dimensional drawing specifies an overall width of 117 mm, a height of 80 mm and a 101 mm centre distance between the upper fixing holes.

Manufactured from zinc, this replacement anode provides sacrificial galvanic corrosion protection for electrically connected metallic components of compatible outboard propulsion systems.

Technical Specifications

OMC, Johnson and Evinrude Compatibility

The Polipodio 2626205 is listed for compatible O.M.C. outboard engines in the 100–245 HP range, including relevant Johnson and Evinrude applications.

The manufacturer catalogue identifies the following original replacement references:

• 982277
• 952438

These references should be used together with the original anode dimensions and mounting configuration to identify the correct replacement.

Specific engine models, production years and serial number ranges have not been supplied. The 100–245 HP range does not imply universal compatibility with every engine of that power rating.

Alveolar Plate Construction

The Polipodio 2626205 features an alveolar or cellular plate design, with multiple recessed sections and a four-hole mounting arrangement.

The manufacturer's drawing shows the following dimensional characteristics:

• Overall width: 117 mm
• Overall height: 80 mm
• Upper fixing-hole centre distance: 101 mm
• Number of fixing holes: 4
• Body design: Rectangular cellular plate with a raised profile

The manufacturer drawing also includes smaller sectional measurements, but these are not sufficient to establish a complete overall thickness specification.

Before installation, compare the original plate profile and full fixing-hole arrangement with the replacement anode.

Zinc Sacrificial Corrosion Protection

The Polipodio 2626205 is manufactured from zinc, a sacrificial anode material commonly used in saltwater marine corrosion protection systems.

When correctly installed with suitable electrical continuity to the metallic components requiring protection, the zinc corrodes preferentially, helping reduce galvanic corrosion of electrically connected components exposed to water.

The suitability of zinc should be confirmed according to the vessel's operating water conditions and the relevant engine manufacturer's maintenance recommendations.

Inspection and Replacement

Inspect the zinc alveolar plate anode periodically during routine outboard maintenance. Replace it when the sacrificial material becomes significantly depleted, damaged or no longer securely mounted.

Before fitting a replacement:

• Confirm the O.M.C., Johnson or Evinrude engine model.
• Check original reference 982277 or 952438.
• Verify the overall width of 117 mm and height of 80 mm.
• Confirm the four-hole mounting arrangement.
• Check the specified 101 mm centre distance between the upper fixing holes.
• Compare the original alveolar plate profile and mounting hardware.
• Follow the applicable engine manufacturer's installation instructions.
